Chapter 801: Buying a TV Set First, Reporting Later
After eating breakfast, Ye Yaodong went into the room to fumble for a while before coming out.
"What are you doing? Don't go quickly while there's no rain, and run into the room."
He pretended to be nonchalant and pulled his pants waist. "Oh, nothing, feeling the pants waist is a bit loose, went in to get a belt to tie it."
"Loose?"
The old lady rushed to answer, "Must be too tired catching squid at sea during this period, so lost weight, the waist is loose, the whole person is black, the face is sharp..."
"Still okay, still okay, didn't lose much weight..."
"That's because you were thin originally. If you lose weight again, you can't lose much. When taking a bath, see your body is all ribs, didn't see any meat..."
"Ahem... take advantage of no rain, I'll go first..."
"Then you hurry, hurry."
Ye Yaodong quickly pushed the flatbed cart and left. Lying didn't feel guilty, but the old lady's heartache made him feel a bit guilty. Better slip away quickly.
However, he still heard the old lady telling Ah Qing to remember to buy a piece of meat to cook braised pork at noon later.
"Eat meat to grow meat..."
Ten in a bundle, ten-plus bundles packed up, it was a basket. Plus two baskets, riding a bicycle wasn't convenient. Ye Yaodong simply pushed the flatbed cart and walked to the town. If there was a TV set later, he could push it back. Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy to bring back.
It rained a little last night, and it was a bit cool today. Cloudy day has cloudy day's good. Although the road wasn't easy to walk, it was all muddy, but it was better than a rainy day.
However, when he pushed the flatbed cart past the small shop in the village, someone curious asked him.
"Ah Dong, what are you pushing? Where to?"
"To the town."
His footsteps didn't stop pushing the flatbed cart, attempting to make the greeting sound disappear behind him.
"That basket is filled with dried squid, right?"
"Rained last night, estimated they all got up in the middle of the night to collect dried fish and squid. Don't know if they all got wet. Wet ones shouldn't be stuffy, this is all money..."
"Heard his three boats didn't earn money this fishing season, not as good as others' small boats earning..."
"All tossed and lost..."
"Oh? On his board, covered with cloth, those really are dried squid? This wouldn't be pushed to the town to sell, right?"
"Possible. Didn't he say go to the town? Just take advantage of not going to sea today, want to see if it's easy to sell?"
"Then selling a little is a little, can also lose a little less. Selling it can exchange for some money, this year just take it as a lesson and sell slowly..."
The women at the door of the shop behind him were discussing in a jumble.
Ye Yaodong fiercely rolled his eyes in his heart. It was just that wealth shouldn't be exposed, not easy to say out, otherwise saying it would scare them to death.
However, it was normal in the countryside. Moreover, he was a celebrity now. Meeting on the road, chatting two sentences was also normal.
But when it was almost lunch time, he pushed a TV set back. When passing the small shop in the village along the original road, those people were surprised until their eyeballs were about to fall to the ground.
Still the same people from the morning. They moved their net weaving and mending around the shop, so it was lively to have people talking.
Don't ask them how they knew it was a TV set. The box had a picture of a TV set printed on it.
"Oh my, what is this? This is a TV set? Didn't you go to sell dried squid?"
"My goodness, this dried squid sold and brought back a TV set?"
Everyone was surprised and quickly put down their work, surrounded him, and then circled around the flatbed cart, curiously touching it with their hands, looking carefully.
"Really is a TV set?"
"Incredible, this trip out, actually brought a TV set back. Who was still crowing there saying you didn't earn money? Where is this not earning money?"
Ye Yaodong said helplessly, "This TV set doesn't cost much money, villagers can all afford it. I just saw Lin Lin Liu Shu at the east end of the village on the street just now, saw him pushing a TV set too, but he should still be wandering on the street now."
"Ah, Lin Old Six also bought a TV set? I thought his wife was bragging, said last night that their family also wanted to buy a TV set, and really bought it back."
"Mm, 400-plus yuan is enough, everyone can afford it, just depends on whether they are willing. No need to be surprised, I'll go first, rushing home to eat."
Sent a smoke bomb to divert attention, finally left the encirclement of these aunts.
Today there were still people going to sea, not many people active in the village, and this time point, most started to prepare lunch. Ye Yaodong pushed the flatbed cart to the door of his house, and no one greeted him or talked to him along the way.
Looking at the open courtyard door, and a dog after another rushing out and barking, he wished he could kick them a few times. He hadn't prepared to enter the house yet, what are you barking for?
The old lady heard a group of puppies barking there, raised her head to look, and said with a smile, "Dongzi is back, hurry in, just in time for lunch, back just in time."
"Hey, coming."
Ye Yaodong responded, stood in place and hesitated for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his head and chest and pushed the flatbed cart in.
He is the head of the family, bought a TV set, so what! So what!
Lin Xiuqing heard the movement outside the house, also walked out smiling while wiping her hands, Ye Xiaoxi followed behind her, running out with a pitter-patter.
"Back? Just right, can... eh? What's on your flatbed cart, such a big one?"
"Cough, when going to the border defense station, just happened to see them just confiscated a batch of smuggled goods..."
"TV set!?"
"Wife, wife, listen to me..."
"Where did you get the money?"
The old lady heard TV set, and also quickly walked over. "Oh my, why did you buy a TV set back?"
Lin Xiuqing continued to glare at him with horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes. "Carried a TV set back without a sound, grown skills?"
"Hehe, let me tell you, passed this village, there's no such shop. This TV set only cost 300 yuan, 1/3 cheaper. Outside they all sell for 450. This one, people only calculated 300 yuan for me. This is a big bargain, you know? So cheap, outside, you want to buy it but can't buy it!"
"Lin Lin Liu Shu at the east end of the village, I met him on the road, he said he bought it for 450, and was still proud. I saw it when I went to the border defense station. Those people said if I wanted it, only 300 yuan was enough. I was worried that passed this village, there would be no such shop, so..."
"People bought it for 450, I didn't buy it for 300, isn't that a fool? So I gritted my teeth, hardened my heart and bought it."
"Wife, this TV set of ours is absolutely worth more than the price! Think about it, even if we don't use it ourselves, reselling it can earn 150. What can earn 150 so easily? Don't you think I must buy it back?"
"Right? Look, we buy it back first, when the time comes, see who wants it, we sell it to others for 450, can still earn 150. This money is so easy to earn, right?"
"Hehe, if no one wants it, we keep it to watch ourselves, not a loss, right? Hehe, we keep it to watch ourselves, not a loss, still earned..."
Ye Yaodong exerted his three-inch tongue, talked endlessly to Lin Xiuqing, used all his life's skills, attempting to make her feel that he had picked up a big bargain!
However, who is Lin Xiuqing? Pillow person!
Still don't know him?
She angrily stood on tiptoe wanting to pull his ear, but he also followed her on tiptoe, making her angry, not high enough, he also tilted his head, could only change to patting him twice.
"Don't talk nonsense to me, you tell me first, where did the money for buying the TV set come from?"
"Taken from the drawer, where else can it be taken from. As the head of the family, what's wrong with taking some money? Wasn't it thinking of going to the town, just in case?"
"Just in case, need to take 300 yuan? 300 yuan, you could buy a few people back to serve me!"
"Ah? 300 yuan probably can't buy a person? No, that's old society bad habits, how can you think like that? We are new society now, growing up under the five-star red flag, how can we buy and sell people?"
"Stop talking nonsense to me, took money from the drawer, took 300 yuan, don't need to tell me? So much money!"
"Actually I took 500 yuan... ouch... oh... oh... lighter, lighter... will hurt..."
Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but pat him hard a few times when she heard he took 500 yuan.
She just said, how come he ran into the room sneakily after eating breakfast, and when he came out, he had a guilty look, kept pulling his pants, really thought the pants waist was loose.
This dog man!
The old lady on the side also couldn't help but say, "Deserve it! Took so much money without saying a word, bought a TV set without saying a word, deserve it!"
Saying that, she couldn't help but hit his leg with a cane.
"Who spends money like this, brought a TV set back without a sound, such a big lump, very expensive..."
And Ye Xiaoxi on the side saw her dad being beaten by her mom, and beaten by Great-Grandma, widened her eyes and shouted "beat, beat!" there too.
"Not good, beat! Beat, dad~"
Ye Yaodong was speechless, bent down and pinched her little face. He did all this for what? Wasn't it all bought back for the three women in the family to watch?
He didn't have time to watch, almost for them, but these three combined wanted to beat him.
"I was thinking that heaven has unpredictable storms, in case something happens on the road, having money in the pocket can save the emergency, so I brought so much money. Who thought, when I got to the border defense station, there was still a bargain to pick up."
"I don't believe your ghost talk, editing a reason also didn't edit it well. Clearly you went with a purpose. I said how come you suddenly thought of sending dried squid to people, all have purposes."
Lin Xiuqing couldn't get angry, and pinched him again. Fortunately, he had precautions early, clenched his fists, arched the muscles on his arms, making her want to pinch but couldn't.
"How is this called having a purpose? I call this building a relationship. Building a relationship with people in the system is never wrong. Some people want to find a relationship but can't find it. Isn't this ready-made? As long as the relationship is connected, it will definitely be useful later."
"So you bought a TV set back. The usefulness you said is to facilitate doing these things?"
"Hehe, can't think like that either. Wife, you have to think that we picked up a big bargain, fully 150 cheaper than others, very cost-effective. Only 300 yuan, not a loss at all. Lin Lin Liu Shu bought it for 450. If you don't believe it, wait until he comes back later, you'll know. He is showing off on the street right now."
